Abstract

Over the last decade, creative tourism that emerged from the increasing demand for spending time creatively during the holiday, i.e., by taking part in creative activities, is becoming more and more popular not only abroad but also in Slovakia. Undoubtedly, this country, due to its rich cultural heritage and living traditions, has the potential to meet tourists’ need to be involved in unique and authentic experiences. But do hotels in Slovakia offer creative activities for their guests? To answer the question the present paper shares the results of a questionnaire survey carried out in the Bratislava region. The findings of the investigation revealed that only a third of the respondents provided creative experiences or were willing to offer such activities for their guests in the future, although the majority of them acknowledged that their costumers might have been interested in them.
